SECRECY IN AIR TRAGEDIES.
Protest by Guild of Pilots.
Outspoken criticism of official reticence as to the cause of air accidents was made at the first an- pual meeting in London of the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Naviga-| tors.
Many of the Guild's most dis- tinguished members, among them. Air-Vice-Marshal Sir W. Sefton Brancker, Squadron-Leader E. L Johnaton, Lt-Comdr. Atherstone, Mr. Giblett, and Lt.-Cel. G. L. P. Henderson, were lost in the R101 disaster, the Meopham crash, and other accidents this year. Rofer- ring to these, Capt. A. G. Lamplugh, treasurer of the Guild, said:
This year has witnessed series of disasters and fatalities which will be pretty hard to beat, case of the particularly in the Meopham disaster, where, besides the loss of eminent public people, we lost a valuable friend' in Col. Henderson, one of the stoutest- hearted pilots in this country.
"I doubt whether any accurate cause for this accident will ever be known. I say this with all due deference to the body now sitting to investigate the cause of the crash who deserve our sympathy in their difficult task.
